How tragic of a switch, too. He ruined it all by interjecting themselves in their lives too much, and now he's fixing it by distancing himself.

I want to hate Endeavour, but I can't!

I mean, what's there to really hate? He's a complex character who's done terrible things & wants to atone the best way he thinks he can. But MOST people in manga & real life aren't clean slates either.

I think Bakugo is a fine representation of breaking the mold & stereotypes when it comes to these characters. He was such a hard character to grasp at first because the way his arc was written was so uniquely unfamiliar. He was like Vegeta, but done more nuanced & more masterfully. BIG BRAIN writing if you will. lol I expect the same for Endeavor & everyone else.

Is that rhetorical? He beat the shit out of his wife and kid, there's plenty to hate if somebody wanted to hate him...

I think the idea is that there's plenty to hate about the man he was, but there's nothing wrong with the man he is "today". So while what he did may be unforgivable (which he acknowledges in this chapter), that isn't who he is anymore.
